I suspect Google is perfectly happy to have 4/5 of the smartphone market out of Apple's hands, even if they lose ground on the remaining 1/5. Google's business model has always been to stop everyone but Google from controlling any aspect of the internet, to make sure that they have unfettered access to their actual revenue streams.

Not me. Even when I was still using an iPhone I stuck with Gmaps, and when my wife and her mother complain about Apple Maps on their iPhones (which they do) I remind them they still have the good map apps on their phones and the complaints fade away.
